here is what I understand MPlayer uses "custom buffers" to drive libmpeg2 (it is a feature of libmpeg2); there is an array of pointers to buffers, called mpi->planes , allocated with calloc(), so they are all zeroed; then a callback is registered into libmpeg2, to allocate those buffers when needed but this stream is broken, there is no I frame, and the first frame is a B frame; when libmpeg2 tries to motion compensate, a buffer related to motion compensation is still not allocated my guess is that other programs do not use "custom buffers", and then they do not crash; still, I will pass my patch to the libmpeg2-4 team btw: AFAICT, MPlayer uses "custom buffers" to support hardware rendering a. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
